Chapter 15
The next few months flew by, Jude was now working on her second album with Tommy and after much discussion and pleading with her parents, they finally relented and agreed to allow Jude to stop going to school and work with a tutor at the studios. Jude and Tommy spent almost every waking hour together at the studios working on her next album and things between them seemed to have fallen back into the same old routine. Their friendship was stronger than ever, each seemed to know the other better than themselves and things were good. The album was coming along, a little slower than the first, but that was to be expected, especially since Jude was now being pulled in all directions to do promotion, modeling, interviews and all the other things that EJ seemed to always be scheduling on that cell phone of hers.
It was Friday and Jude and Tommy had just put in a long 9 hours on the song they were currently working on. Finally after many tries Jude had got it right. Jude and Tommy were sitting side by side on the couch in the studio listening the final recording.
T: Jude, that was it girl! You did it.
J: Finally, I thought we were never going to get that song recorded.
T: Yeah, it has been a long day. I am ready to get out of here. What about you? Got any plans for tonight?
J: Nah, Jamie and Kat said they were both busy tonight and Sadie and mom both had plans so I have got the whole house to myself. I plan on curling up with a movie and some popcorn.
T: Oh come on, you should be going out and celebrating, seriously Jude that was a great song you just finished in there!
J: Well, it seems like everyone is busy tonight so I guess it will have to be another night.
T: Not everyone.
J: Oh really, so you are telling me that it's a Friday night and Little Tommy Q doesn't have a date?
T: Jude…
J: Oh come on Quincy, you can't possibly want to hang out with me at my house and watch a movie. Isn't that a little too "Brady Bunch" for you?
T: Come on Jude, we hang out all the time, it's not like this would be any different than pulling an all nighter here at the studio. Of course, if you just don't want to hang out with me, which I can't understand why you wouldn't want to, then just say so.
J: Ok already, if you want to come over then come. But I get to pick the movie!
With that decided, Tommy and Jude made their way to the doors of G Major and out to their respective cars.
T: Man, I am starving. Listen how about if I run home to change and pick up some Chinese on the way to your place?
J: Yeah that sounds great.
T: Ok, see you in a few.
